Custom Templates with Fields

[bkonia]

Allow users to create custom templates with fields in the Item Details Pane (like Contacts Editor). When creating or editing a template, the user should be able to drag the attribute fields into the Item Details pane and arrange them however he wants.

"This is something we have considered as well, but is also not a trivial task. We hope to offer this capability sometime in the future..."

Morphing the Contact template into a flexible Form template would be a very powerful addition. As it is, the contact template viewer is limited to only those items already fixed by the developers. Any new attributes added for contact information can only be viewed in the item attibutes pane. This more flexible alternative could include the ability to design the layout of the item details pane for custom viewing of attributes. This way any new attributes could be available for viewing in the item details. One could create custom forms for many useful items. The organized form would also facilitate organized data entry for the item information rather than tabbing through the attributes vector at the side of the screen.
